Overlooking the wonderful Squillace Bay, Blandini Farm is the perfect place for people who enjoy peaceful countryside, trekking and spending time at the gorgeous local seaside.
The guest house, Strombillo, is an independent structure, which along with three other houses, makes up the working farm, that has been producing olive oil since 1880. The house itself was once a shelter for shepherds, offering a cool respite between its thick stone walls.

Strombillo is composed of one double bedroom, one bathroom, a living room with a fireplace, a cooking corner and a patio garden. It can comfortably sleep two people with the possibility of adding one extra bed. It is decorated with basic furniture in a typical country-style with many of the pieces coming from surrounding artisans and vendors.

The beach is around 1.8 km from the farm and can be reached by car following the Via Grande, which was the ancient Roman road to Stalettì. A trek in the surrounding area will reveal picturesque countryside and archaeological ruins like a prehistoric settlement from the neolithic age and a prehellenic necropolis from the iron age near the Alessi stream. Two important sites of cultural interest are the city of Squillace, offering the Castle of Normanno and a cathedral church, as well as the city of Stalettì and of course the archaeological park of Roccelletta in Borgia. On request, a guide will show you the beauties of the zone. Finally, there is the city of Soverato, representing one of the most important touristic sites of the Ionian sea, named the “Pearl of the Ionian Sea” because of its beauty.

If you prefer to travel by plane, it's possible to arrive at the Lamezia Terme airport. The nearest train station is also in Lamezia Terme, which is about 60 km far from the farm. From either the train station or the airport it's possible to rent a car with a shuttle service included in the price.

All guests are provided with a welcome present of fresh products from the local countryside and upon arrival Caterina will take care of presenting you the house and answering any questions.

Beautiful remote location, great sea views, well equipped, clean and well maintained. Friendly host, with which the cabin was easy to find. However, a car is a must. Beaches in 10-15 minutes by car. Like to come again.

Beautiful independent house with a great view! I spent three weeks enjoying absolute tranquility. Great starting point for hikes and by car in 10 minutes you are already at sea. I have been informed in advance about the journey and taken on the way to the house in reception. The neighborhood is very warm, it has repeatedly inquired after my welfare. Thank you!

Cute cottage, fully equipped, quiet and private location. What hard to find, via a dirt road for about 10 minutes, but with the help of the existing host is not a problem. We have a few very relaxed and pleasant days stayed at this property, with a nice view over the Golfo di Squillace and a beautiful sunrise on a clear day. Highly recommended if staying on the east coast of Calabria, with plenty of opportunities for interesting trips.
